With Fourth of July weekend just days away, it's time to start preparing for two staples of the American summertime experience: the beach and barbecue. And few things pair better with both beaches and barbecues than a cold beverage in your hand.

Unfortunately, cold drinks can be hard to come by in those scenarios. Coolers do their best to fight the heat, and while your standard koozie is somewhat helpful, it can only do so much when you're at the beach on a 90 degree day.

Thankfully, we have advanced koozie technology in 2016, allowing our drinks to stay colder for longer, regardless of how hard the sun is bearing down on a given day.

The Corkcicle Arctican is one such heavy-duty drink holder. It uses a removable "cooling core" as a base — place it in the freezer before your drinking excursion, then twist it onto the Artican's bottom when you're ready to enjoy the sun. This'll keep your drink cold for up to three hours. The main cylinder is made from two layers of insulated stainless steel, which furthers the chill, but also retains a bearable exterior temperature to keep the cold from your hands.

Together, Corkcicle claims the two parts of the device keep your drink three times as cold as a standard koozie would. There are more traditional koozies designed to keep your beverages cold, but for long summer days, the Arctican should prove a convenient drinking buddy.
